Get rid of the MOC, you're a rogue. Swarms are the devil.

Doesn't it help keep your DS up though in a swarm? I guess 8 ranks doesn't mean jack $hit so I see your point.

2.5 training in locksmithing and disarming is a waste in my opinion... especially with 4 minor spells. I would rather spend those points on CMs.

2x is more than enough to be a decent smith... but you'll be kicking yourself for not having enough CM points.

And I'm glad to see you chose to have 2x in stealing. :smug:

Hiding will keep your DS up SO much better. :)

Once you get past Plane 1 in the Rift, you pretty much NEED more than 2x in pick/disarm. You can get by with 2x pick/disarm in the Aqueduct as long as you're at least level 80, but when you start hunting Ithzir you need to go right back up to at least 2.5x, and even then you're not going to get a good number of boxes.

Honestly I'm not even sure the amount of redux you get going to 2x from 1x PT is worth it. I would consider dropping pickpocketing to 1x if you don't use it too often...it's just burning points. Arcane Symbols did help with scarabs last I knew.
